>> well, look, look at obama with obama care. i think the issue was polling said it was vastly unpopular. he didn't come back to the table and say i'm going to pull back on that. he pressed for it and got the people on his side. i don't think it's an issue on the republican side of wild ideas or messed up policy. it's the fact that we did a horrible job of explaining why the economy and the republican governors are doing better than the democrat governors. we haven't done a good job explaining our side. but let me be very clear, there are some people on the extreme right side who are not prakt kal about moving government forward. they would rather dig their heels in, make their statements, and not want to come to the table with the president. we can't get all that we want, let's just get some. it's all or nothing with some people. i don't think you can govern that way. >> how do you explain better that we're not going to give any tax increases to the rich, but we're going to let the middle class and the poor pay more we're going

remember, president obama hasn't visited israel he's got some criticism for that. this trip will allow him to reaffirm his support of israel and to try to strengthen ties with the prime minister. the two have had a somewhat strained relationship over the last several years. this is an opportunity for the president so send a signal. this is his first foreign trip during this second term. it does send a strong message to isra israel. the question is will president obama offer any proposals to try to move the peace process forward? and vice versa. i asked jay carney that question earlier today. he wouldn't answer specifically expect to say that whenever the two meet, they talk about the peace process. but as our colleagues at first read reported this morning, it is unlikely that president obama would have agreed to such a trip unless he believed that netanyahu would be putting something on the table to try to move the peace process forward. i believe one of the reasons is to move their relationship forward over the next few years. >> the backdrop to any such meeting i
